Transcending Ego through God Krishna's Name

Once many Mahatmas came to a village and were performing Yagya and they were worshiping by writing the name of Shri Krishna with sandalwood on the leaves of trees.

That place was outside the village. A man used to go there every day to graze his goats. The sage had left from there after performing the Havan Yagya, but those leaves remained lying there and then one of the goats grazing on the grass ate those leaves in the form of Krishna Ghannam.

When the man took all the goats home, all the goats went into their enclosure and started meowing; But that goat which had taken the name Krishna within itself, started saying Krishna-Krishna instead of I-I because Krishna had started residing inside it. His 'I' i.e. ego had gone away on its own!

When all the goats hear him calling Krishna Krishna, they say---What are you saying? What is this being said leaving your language, I am speaking.

So she says-The leaf in the form of Krishna's name went inside me. Even my "I" is gone. All the goats explained many things to her in their own language, but she did not budge and kept reciting Krishna Krishna. All the goats decided to throw him out of their group. All of them throw him out of the enclosure by using their horns and pushing him. When the owner comes in the morning, sees him outside the enclosure, he catches him and puts him back inside. But the goats again kick him out with their horns. The owner does not understand why all this has become his enemy. The owner thinks that he must be suffering from some disease because all the goats are not allowing him to come near him, so he thinks that it should not be possible that because of one goat, all of them fall ill.

He leaves that goat in the forest at night. In the morning, when a person - who happens to be a thief - sees the goat standing alone in the forest! 1So he quickly runs away with the goat and goes to a distant village and sells it to a farmer.

The farmer, who is very innocent and has a good mind, does not care whether the goat is doing it for me or Krishna for Krishna. That goat kept chanting Krishna Krishna the whole day! Now that farmer earns his living by selling the milk of that goat. Due to the influence of Krishna name, goat gives abundant and sweet milk. People come from far and wide to buy her milk. The condition of the farmer, who was very poor, started improving due to the arrival of the goat and the sale of its milk.

One day the king's minister and some soldiers were passing through that village. He felt very hungry and then he saw a farmer's house - the farmer gave him goat's milk to drink. The ministers and soldiers were very happy after drinking such sweet and good milk. They told the farmer that we have never drank such milk before, the farmer said that this is the milk of this goat which keeps saying 'Krishna Krishna' all day long. The minister was surprised to see the goat chanting Krishna's name. He thanked the farmer and went back to the city palace. That's why in those days the Queen Mother, who was very ill, did not get cured even after a lot of treatment. Rajguru said that it is difficult for mother to get well, now only God can save her. Rajguru said that now you should sit near Mataji and take the name of Thakur ji as much as possible. Should the king, who was very busy, handle the throne the whole day or sit near Mataji?

No one in the city had enough time to sit near the Queen and take the name of God, then the minister remembered that goat - which always used to chant Krishna Krishna!

The minister told the king about this. At first the king did not believe it, but when the minister took the king with him to the farmer's house, the king heard the goat chanting the name of Krishna and he was surprised. The king said to the farmer that you give me this goat. The farmer folded his hands very politely and said to the king that it is because of this that the condition of my house got better, if I give this to you then I will die of hunger again. The king said, don't worry, I will give you so much money that your poverty will go away!

Now the farmer happily gave the goat to the king.

Now the goat would sit near the Queen Mother in the royal palace and continuously chant Krishna Krishna. By reciting Krishna's name in her ears - and drinking the sweet and clean goat's milk - the queen's health began to improve, and gradually she became completely well!_

Now the goat started living with the king in the royal palace. Then with his company the entire palace started chanting Krishna Krishna. Now there was a Krishna-like atmosphere in the entire palace and the entire city.
